The Rubber Ducky Dash - Staines-upon-Thames
The Rubber Ducky Dash, organised by Saturn Running, takes place on 21 February 2026 at The Last Hop, Thames Edge Court, Clarence Street, Staines, TW18 4SU. The event is run as a seven hour Time Challenge that allows participants to choose how many laps to complete, with a minimum distance of 3km.
A full lap is listed as 7 km (4.37 miles) but may be adjusted to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The lap includes marked 3km and 5km turn points to help younger runners meet UK Athletics distance rules. Typical lap counts are 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon, 7 or more for an ultra, and a 50km option is available.
The course runs along a stretch of the River Thames and is fully signed. Surface is mainly well made paths and tarmac with a short grass section; road shoes are suitable. Walkers are welcome.
Finishers who complete at least 3km receive a rubber ducky themed medal and a rubber duck to take home. Distance pins are available for half-marathon distance and above. A selection of goody bags includes a vegan option. Aid and drinks tables are provided at the start/finish area on each lap. Toilets and changing facilities are available at the venue. Parking is available at Bridge Street Car Park, Staines TW18 4TP. Number pick up is on race day at registration. Headphones are allowed and participants should be considerate of other path users. Membership offers a reduced entry price, guaranteed entry, and a mini-me medal pin. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
